Cocktails & Tastybites

After five years of providing locals with delectable cocktails and atmosphere, BUS is expanding its reach to include a permanent restaurant concept on the back porch named Cocktails & Tastybites. Inspired by a 1930s recipe book of the same name, Lesley and Ben Lomax are making their restaurant dreams come true. Since the Lomaxes have enjoyed having different food trucks on rotation, they figured it was time to add something permanent for their customers. This concept will focus on cocktail and food pairings focused on “quality ingredients scaled up in a casual and approachable atmosphere,” said Lesley. “The menu will be fairly small, with the goal being that each item inhabits its own niche, from hearty to light and from individual to group dishes.” As of March 2023, locals will have even more reason to frequent BUS and stay a while. 702 Chaparral St. @bus.corpuschristi
